Still using the old reliable win98se4. Certainly my kb not working. In the
Device Manager it is showing Standard 101/102 Key or Microsoft Natural
Keyboard.
fyi, my old mouse is working and its showing as WheelMouse (ps/2).
Please advice how can I get it going, thanks

It would be conducive to know if it IS a standard key board that you are
discussing [not a foreign board/type set], and whether the mouse is actually
a wheel mouse or not before the group begins to attempt to help you.
Also, what the BIOS is configured as for *errors*, and mouse, and any
potential country and code settings which might apply within the
autoexec.bat, win.ini, system.ini [generally applied by some
program/application].

Re: kb not working

Borrow a keyboard and see if it works on your computer, and/or try your keyboard on
another computer to see if it works. Keyboards do wear out.

Is the keyboard totally non-functional?
Is it USB, or is it connected to a standard keyboard connector (PS/2 type or AT
type)?
When you start the computer, do the lights on the keyboard flash?
With Windows running, do the CapsLock or NumLock lights come on when you press those
keys?

Re: kb not working

Kb is the ps/2 type and works ok with my win xp. I did some system cleaning
on w98 and was able to get the kb function again. Many thanks for your
response and at least Iknow where/how to trouble shot if it occur again.
